We're planting hundreds of trees

The Town looks at projects and plans through a "green" lens, thinking about the environment, sustainability, and saving energy. This year, we're going to plant hundreds of trees along streets and in parks. We're also working with Conservation Halton and Sustainable Milton to plant even more trees to help grow our forests back.

Change begins when we do something! We believe that what each person does can really make a difference that lasts.
